To love someone, I have to admire and respect the person, but I feel neither respect nor admiration for Mother!
Everything would be all right if only I had Peter, since I admire him in many ways. He's so decent and clever! Yours, Anne M. Frank

Dearest Kitty, I've told you more about myself and my feelings than I've ever told a living soul, so why shouldn't that include sex?
Parents, and people in general, are very peculiar when it comes to sex.
Instead of telling their sons and daughters everything at the age of twelve,
they send the children out of the room the moment the subject arises and leave them to find out everything on their own.
Later on, when parents notice that their children have, somehow, come by their information,
they assume they know more (or less) than they actually do. So why don't they try to make amends by asking them what's what?
A major stumbling block for the adults -- though in my opinion it's no more than a pebble --
is that they're afraid their children will no longer look upon marriage as sacred and pure
once they realize that, in most cases, this purity is a lot of nonsense.
